It’s my sister and best friend Lottie’s 23rd birthday today and I saw my sister Daisy dug out these old photos of us. Feeling really old right now.

Remember The Brave Little Toaster? Yeah, I accidentally chucked ours across the kitchen this morning. Still don’t know how I managed it, but for a moment it was really brave.

I’ve decided to come out of hiding and stop living in shame and just accept that we (England) lost. Don’t be too hard on me, my heart can’t take it. I’m Louis, insert that joke about being in that band you might have heard of. These days I’m still doing that musician thing. On other days I’m being a pain in the ass to @skrillrah. Someone decided we were mature enough to not only have kids, but an entire zoo. We’re currently on a dog banned.

I’m on google chats at gotnortherngrit. I have no idea what the fuck I’m doing, I hadn’t even learned to use hangouts.

Scientists suppressed genes for beak development in a chicken embryo to find out what bird ancestors looked like. The above is an artists rendition of how the embryo would grow into a chicken with the face of a dinosaur. It was never brought to hatching point. The bbc folks made the illustration to extrapolate what would happen

where’s @panlinson we’re getting closer to jurassic park

Scientists have grown ‘dinosaur legs’ on a chicken for the first time

Until very recently, one of the biggest myths in science was that all dinosaurs have been extinct for the past 65 million years. But thanks to new fossil discoveries that filled in our knowledge about avian dinosaurs, we now know that only some dinosaurs went extinct following an asteroid collision with Earth - others survived and gave rise to the birds we live with today.

To figure out how this evolution occurred, researchers in Chile have manipulated the genes of regular chickens so they develop tubular, dinosaur-like fibulas on their lower legs - one of the two long, spine-like bones you’ll find in a drumstick.

Researchers led by Joâo Botelho from the University of Chile decided to investigate how this transition from a long, tubular fibula in dinosaurs to a short, splinter-like fibula in birds actually came to be.

They achieved this by inhibiting the expression of a gene called IHH or Indian Hedgehog (seriously), which saw their chickens continue to grow the long, dinosaur-like fibulae that originated in their embryonic form.

Unfortunately, the ‘dino-chickens’ did not make it to the hatching stage, but the point of the research wasn’t to raise them into adulthood, but to figure out the biological processes that led to the transition from dinosaur legs to modern bird legs. (Source)

STOP TRYING TO BRING DINOSAURS BACK DID NO ONE SEE JURASSIC PARK DID NO ON LEARN FUCKING ANYTHING

i already tagged him in one of these posts, but omg @panlinson 

[panlinson]

I need a chickensaur stat. 

[panlinson]

I’ll just take this as AIM has had enough of our shit. 

[skrillrah]

also when the “sonny moore” tag has more new posts than the “skrillex” tag i get very concerned. 

what did i do

[panlinson]

You existed

[akleptocat]

Your heart’s too big for your body, that’s why you won’t fit inside. 

Prequel to Dollhouse and Sippy Cup is out now! Learn more of Cry Baby’s story. 

[skrillrah]

when did you two get so big? 6 months old today? I don’t believe it. 

[panlinson]

These 2 are 6 months old today. Which means Sonny and I successfully kept them alive and healthy for half a year. 

[skrillrah]

Very serious reading going on. 

[panlinson]

And people say I don’t read. 

[incidentalcomics]

I drew this while awkwardly holding my newborn son. 

[panlinson]

This is why I can’t go with him on public transportation. I told him you could see his ass and he was so offended. 

[panlinson]

@bellaatrixblaack Probably ‘cause I posted a selfie on instagram and was outside smoking a cigarette. Apparently both those things are turn ons. 

[panlinson]

Exercising my right as one out of two members in the band that can grow full facial hair. I also habitually steal Sonny’s clothes when I’m sleepy. I’m like a tired klepto.
